But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine – combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine. Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets. Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.” 24. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him? A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict. C. He’s brave. D. He’s rude. 25. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian. C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners. 26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work. C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine. 27. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? A. To prove Farber’s point. B. To emphasize its importance. C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述兽医威廉·法伯(William Farber)博士在从针灸中受益后，将综合医疗应用于动物，并取得了初步成效。 24.细节理解题。根据第一段的“If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.( 如果他看起来有点自卫，那可能是因为他的一些同事偶尔会嘲笑他不寻常的方法。) ”可知，Farber的同事们有时会嘲笑他不寻常的方法，他们认为他很奇怪。故选A。 25.细节理解题。根据第二段的“Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.(然后，他尝试了针灸，这是一种古老的中国疗法，并惊讶地发现，经过两三次治疗，他的病情有所好转。对兽医有效的方法似乎对他的病人也有效。因此，在研究了这些技术几年后，他开始把它们提供给宠物。)”可知，Farber作为患者从针灸中受益，这促使他决定尝试在宠物上使用针灸。故选C。 26.主旨大意题。根据第三段内容“Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.(利·廷代尔的狗查理患有严重的心脏病。廷代尔说，查理心脏病发作后，她准备让他进入睡眠状态，但法伯的治疗大大减轻了她的狗的痛苦，她能够让它多活五个月。普里西拉·杜因(Priscilla Dewing)报告说，她的马纳皮(Nappy)经过脊椎按摩调整后，“行动更容易，乘车更舒服”。) ”可知，本段主要讲述了两个例子，一个是Farber通过整体医学方法帮助了患有严重心脏病的狗Charlie，另一个是马Nappy在接受脊椎按摩治疗后移动和骑行更为舒适。这些例子都是为了说明整体医学的有效性。故选D。 27.推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容“Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. ( 法伯确信，随着时间的推移，综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，如果过去有任何迹象的话，他可能是对的:自1982年以来，美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个。)”可知，法伯认为综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，随后作者列举了美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个的例子，因此推断美国整体兽医协会是为证明法伯的观点。故选A。 (2020北京卷第37题)Baggy has become the first dog in the UK--and potentially the world--to join the fight against air pollution by recording pollutant levels near the ground. Baggy wears a pollution monitor on her collar so she can take data measurements close to the ground. Her monitor has shown that air pollution levels are higher closer to ground level, which has helped highlight concerns that babies and young kids may be at higher risk of developing lung problems. Conventional air pollution monitors are normally fixed on lampposts at about nine feet in the air. However, since Baggy stands at about the same height as a child in a pushchair(婴儿车), she frequently records pollution levels which are much higher than the data gathered by the Environment Agency. The doggy data research was the idea of Baggy's 13-year-old owner Tom Hunt and his dad Matt. The English youngster noticed that pollution levels are around two-thirds higher close to the ground than they are in the air at the height where they are recorded by the agency. Tom has since reported the shocking findings to the government in an attempt to emphasise that babies are at higher risk of developing asthma(哮喘). Matt Hunt said he was "very proud" of his son because “when the boy gets an idea, he keeps his head down and gets on with it, and he really does want to do some good and stop young kids from getting asthma." “Tom built up a passion for environmental protection at a very early age, "Matt added. “He became very interested in gadgets(小装置). A bout one year ago, he got this new piece of tech which is like a test tube. One Sunday afternoon, we went out to do some monitoring, and he said, why don't we put it on Baggy's collar and let her monitor the pollution? 'So we did it." Tom said, "Most of the time, Baggy is just like any other dog. But for the rest of the time she is a super dog, and we are all really proud of her." 34. With a monitor on her collar, Baggy can _____. A. take pollutant readings B. record pollutant levels C. process collected data D. reduce air pollution 35. What can we learn from the Baggy data? A. High places are free of air pollution. B. Higher pushchairs are more risky for kids. C. Conventional monitors are more reliable. D. Air is more polluted closer to the ground. 36. What is Tom's purpose of doing the research? A. To warn of a health risk. B. To find out pollution sources. C. To test his new monitor. D. To prove Baggy's abilities. 37. According to the passage, which word can best describe Tom Hunt? A. Modest. B. Generous. C. Creative. D. Outgoing. 【答案】34. B 35. D 36. A 37. C 本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了13岁的孩子Tom Hunt和他的爸爸通过在自己的宠物狗的脖子上戴污染监测器来记录地面附近的污染物水平；监测仪显示，接近地面的空气污染水平更高，这有助于强调婴儿和幼儿可能面临更高风险发展肺部问题的担忧。 34.细节理解题。本题题干意为：她的衣领上戴着监视器，Baggy 可以…。根据文章第二段Baggy wears a pollution monitor on her collar so she can take data measurements close to the ground. Baggy在她的衣领上戴着污染监测器，这样她就可以在接近地面的地方进行数据测量。可知戴着污染监测器可以记录污染物的水平。故答案为B项。 35.推理判断题。本题题干意为：我们从Baggy收集到的数据中可以了解到什么？根据文章第二段 Her monitor has shown that air pollution levels are higher closer to ground level, which has helped highlight concerns that babies and young kids may be at higher risk of developing lung problems.她的监测仪显示，接近地面的空气污染水平更高，这有助于突显婴儿和幼童罹患肺部疾病的风险更高的担忧。可知接近地面的空气污染水平更高。故答案为D项。 36.推理判断题。本题题干意为：进行这项研究Tom的意图是？根据文章第四段Tom has since reported the shocking findings to the government in an attempt to emphasize that babies are at higher risk of developing asthma（哮喘）.汤姆已经令人震惊的发现报告给政府,试图强调,婴儿患哮喘的风险更高。可知Tom研究的目的是对健康风险提出警告。故答案为A项。 37.推理判断题。本题题干意为：根据文章，哪个词最能描述汤姆·亨特?根据文章倒数第二段“Tom built up a passion for environmental protection at a very early age," Matt added. “He became very interested in gadgets（小装置）.About one year ago, he got this new piece of tech which is like a test tube. One Sunday afternoon, we went out to do some monitoring, and he said, why don't we put it on Baggy's collar and let her monitor the pollution？'So we did it."汤姆在很小的时候就对环境保护产生了热情，马特补充说。他非常感兴趣的产品(小装置)。大约一年前，他得到了一个类似试管的新技术。一个星期天的下午，我们出去做一些监测，他说，为什么我们不把它戴在Baggy的衣领上，让她监测污染?于是我们就这么做了。可知Tom是非常的有创造力的。故答案为C项。 技能专区：名师点津助力冲刺备考，提供高效提分干货，帮你举一反三提分 [解题妙招] “性格描述题”的最优处理方法： 第一、先整体把握人物经历、产品性能及文章主题，多为弘扬“真善美”主旋律主题。 第二、结合题干锁定原文答题区间，圈划关键词句，尤其是动词和形容词，注意提炼态度倾向。 第三、比对选项形容词的褒贬性，多为并列型，一对一错，采用“排除法”，去伪存真确定答案。 [满分策略] 1.做题留痕，依据题干在原文圈划答题区间； 2.划掉错项，去伪存真，快速作答提升效率； 3.错题反思，专用笔记本记录错因举一反三。 模拟专区：做好题才有好成绩！练技能，补漏洞，提分数，练速度，强信心 [调研01]（2025·黑龙江·一模）Until recently, most evenings, after my kid had finally fallen asleep, I would sink into the sofa, turn on Netflix, and watch episode after episode until either my exhaustion or my husband would call time on this pitiful sight. Turning the television off, I'd experience a surge of self-disgust at how dry my eyes felt, and disappointment that the whole evening had disappeared. I would be momentarily but overwhelmingly surprised by my re-entry into a world in which there were no socially-awkward-but-brilliant private detectives, but just a dishwasher that needed loading and a child who would be waking all too soon. I felt crushed by this return to my life. I started to think more about what was happening as I turned the TV on — why I would plan to watch just one episode, but when I came to the end of it, I'd find myself unable to stop. It was as if I had no space in my mind to make any other choice; I was swallowing up episodes without digesting them, without even chewing them over, swallowing each one whole. There is a way of consuming TV, and perhaps everything, that makes it very difficult to feel what the“right amount” is, because it is more about getting away from something, rather than digesting something. Of course, we all need a little escapism every now and then. But if we escape ourselves completely, and for too long, we can lose touch with the ordinary, deeply meaningful moments of our day-to-day lives, such as cooking a nice meal for dinner. Between my child and my job and my odd detective TV shows, I have not been very good at cooking. Eating has come to feel like something I do to survive, rather than something I enjoy. I've lost my appetite—not in the sense of not being hungry, but in the sense of losing contact with a part of myself — my appetite for life. Recently, I decided to have a night off from watching TV. I didn't turn it on and I was amazed by how much time I had. I tidied the kitchen and felt satisfied by the ordinary, everyday experience of contributing something useful to family life, rather than escaping it. I felt I wanted more evenings like that, and not so many lost in TV. But does it have to be all or nothing? Or can I stay in contact with my appetite and find my way to an amount that feels right? 1. Why did the author feel disappointed when turning the TV off? A. Because her eyes felt dry. B. Because her child would wake soon. C. Because the whole evening had been wasted. D. Because her husband put an end to the night. 2. What may happen if we escape ourselves thoroughly? A. Getting away from watching TV. B. Missing daily highlights. C. Avoiding a chance to survive. D. Losing touch with detectives. 3. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Self-reflective and sensible. B. Self-content and honest. C. Thoughtful and modest. D. Talented and passionate. 4. What can be the best title for the text? A. What is a wasteful night? B. How can you relax at night? C. How can you regain your appetite for life? D. What do you feel exhausted about? 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 4. C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在晚上沉迷于看电视，导致对生活失去兴趣，最终通过反思和改变，重新找回对生活的热情的故事。 1. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Turning the television off, I'd experience a surge of self-disgust at how dry my eyes felt, and disappointment that the whole evening had disappeared.(关掉电视后，我感到眼睛干涩，并因为整个晚上都消失了而感到失望)”可知，作者失望的原因是整个晚上都被浪费了。故选C。 2. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“But if we escape ourselves completely, and for too long, we can lose touch with the ordinary, deeply meaningful moments of our day-to-day lives, such as cooking a nice meal for dinner.(但如果我们完全逃避自己，并且时间过长，我们可能会失去与日常生活中有意义的普通时刻的联系，比如做一顿美味的晚餐)”可推知，如果我们彻底逃避自己，可能会错过日常生活中的亮点。故选B 3. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“There is a way of consuming TV, and perhaps everything, that makes it very difficult to feel what the“right amount” is, because it is more about getting away from something, rather than digesting something. Of course, we all need a little escapism every now and then. But if we escape ourselves completely, and for too long, we can lose touch with the ordinary, deeply meaningful moments of our day-to-day lives, such as cooking a nice meal for dinner.(有一种消费电视的方式，也许是所有东西的方式，让人很难感觉到“适量”是什么，因为它更多的是为了远离一些东西，而不是消化一些东西。当然，我们都需要时不时地逃避现实。但是，如果我们完全逃避自我，而且时间过长，我们就会与日常生活中那些普通的、深刻意义的时刻失去联系，比如为晚餐做一顿美味的饭菜)”可知，作者通过反思自己的行为，意识到过度沉迷于电视剧的问题，并尝试改变，表现出一种自我反思和理智的态度。故选A。 4. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Recently, I decided to have a night off from watching TV. I didn't turn it on and I was amazed by how much time I had. I tidied the kitchen and felt satisfied by the ordinary, everyday experience of contributing something useful to family life, rather than escaping it. I felt I wanted more evenings like that, and not so many lost in TV.(最近，我决定休息一个晚上，不看电视。我没有打开它，我惊讶于我还有这么多时间。我整理了厨房，为家庭生活贡献一些有用的东西，而不是逃避它，这种平凡的日常经历让我感到满足。我想要更多这样的夜晚，而不是沉迷于电视)”可知，主要讲述了作者在晚上沉迷于看电视，导致对生活失去兴趣，最终通过反思和改变，重新找回对生活的热情的故事。所以短文的标题为“怎样才能重获对生活的渴望？”。故选C。 [调研02]（2025·黑龙江哈尔滨·一模）Elyn MacInnis, a 73-year-old cultural expert from the United States, is a remarkable figure whose life journey is deeply and closely interlinked with China. She has cultivated a profound cultural and emotional bond that spans generations. Elyn has lived in China for over three decades, during which time her affection for this land has grown immeasurably. In 2015, she and her husband embarked on a meaningful journey to explore the rich history and culture of Kuliang, a renowned summer resort in Fuzhou that has long been a favored destination for foreigners, including numerous Americans. Since the 1880s, these foreign residents have coexisted harmoniously with the local Chinese community. The following year, Elyn took significant steps to promote Kuliang’s heritage.

In 2018, she was granted with the prestigious “Jiangsu Friendship Award”. In 2024, she was honored as one of the “Touching China 2023 Personages,” a national-level accolade that highlights her outstanding contributions to cultural exchanges and historical research.

D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了美国文化专家Elyn MacInnis与中国之间的深厚文化情感纽带，以及她为促进中美文化交流和历史保护所做出的杰出贡献。 1. 词义理解题。根据文章第二段“In 2015, she and her husband embarked on a meaningful journey to explore the rich history and culture of Kuliang (2015年，她和丈夫embarked on一段有意义的旅程，探索鼓岭的丰富历史和文化)”可知，为了探索鼓岭的丰富历史和文化开始了一段有意义的旅程，“embarked on”意为“开始、踏上”。故选A。 2. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The members of this group trace their ancestry to doctors, technicians, missionaries, and traders who once called Kuliang home. Today, with a membership exceeding 50, the group has evolved into an essential driving force behind non-governmental friendly exchanges between China and the United States(该组织的成员祖辈曾是医生、技术人员、传教士和商人，他们曾将库利岗称为家。如今，该组织成员已超过50人，成为中美民间友好交流的重要推动力)”可知，“Kuliang Friends”有助于加强美国和中国之间的联系，故选C。 3. 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Elyn’s unshakable dedication to cultural exchanges and historical preservation has not gone unnoticed.(Elyn对文化交流和历史保护的坚定奉献并未被忽视）以及第5段“Through tireless efforts, Elyn’s has not only deepened the understanding of China’s history and culture but also built a bridge of friendship between the United States and China(通过不懈努力，Elyn不仅加深了对中国历史和文化的理解，还搭建了一座中美友谊的桥梁)”可知，Elyn对文化交流和历史保护充满热情且无私奉献，故选D。 4. 推理判断题。根据文章整体内容，尤其是第五段“In 2018, she was granted with the prestigious “Jiangsu Friendship Award”.

Inspired by Marco Polo, who traveled to China along the ancient Silk Road in 1275, Cammarota set off from the legendary explorer’s hometown of Venice to retrace the route on foot. “I want to compare the China described by Marco Polo over 700 years ago with the China of today through my journey. I also hope to share my experiences and observations in China with my fellow Italians,” she says. She first spent a few days making inroads into the ancient city of Kashgar in the autonomous region, experiencing the local folk customs and history, ranging from a century-old teahouse where she engaged with residents to learn about tea culture to a naan bread shop where she tried her hand at making the traditional staple food. During her stay, she documented the history and modernity of the ancient city through the lens of a camera, which she will share with the world. Starting from Kashgar, Cammarota will set about a 15-month cultural journey across China and explore over 30 cities in 17 provinces and autonomous regions. Her journey will end in Beijing to mark the 750th anniversary of Marco Polo’s arrival in China. She has only a backpack of about 20 kilos, which carries her summer and winter clothing and kits, including a portable compass, a small knife and a bottle of pepper spray for protection against animal attacks. She prefers to wander, stopping when something catches her eye and embracing the unexpected sights along the way. “Why am I doing it?

Among her numerous accolades are her roles as an advocate for education, a human rights activist, and a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Born in Mingora, Pakistan, in 1997, Malala encountered formidable challenges from a tender age, yet she emerged as a global emblem of resilience and unwavering determination. At the tender age of 11, Malala embarked on her advocacy for girls’ education in her hometown, undeterred by the threats emanating from the Taliban, who vehemently opposed female education. Her remarkable courage and tenacity garnered international attention, but it also rendered her a high-profile target. In 2012, she was the victim of a brutal attack by a gunman while en route home from school. The assassination attempt, intended to silence her, paradoxically amplified her voice on the global stage, propelling her message to an international audience. How did Malala Yousafzai transmute adversity into advocacy and ascend to global icon status? Following her arduous recovery, she persisted in championing the right to education. Her inaugural speech at the United Nations in 2013 represented a seminal moment in her trajectory. Subsequently, she co-authored her memoir, “I Am Malala,” which ascended to international bestseller status. In 2014, at the precocious age of 17, she was conferred the Nobel Peace Prize, becoming the youngest-ever laureate for her valiant struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the universal right to education. Malala’s activism transcends the realm of education. She has leveraged her influential platform to advocate for human rights, gender equality, and peace. Her organization, the Malala Fund, is dedicated to ensuring that every girl has access to 12 years of free, safe, and quality education. Despite the myriad challenges she has faced, Malala remains an indomitable beacon of hope and inspiration for millions across the globe. The salient lesson we can glean from Malala Yousafzai’s extraordinary life is that even in the crucible of great peril, one can summon the courage to stand up for what is right and effect meaningful change. 1. What does the phrase “a target” in Paragraph 2 imply? A. A person who is admired. B. A person who is protected. C. A person who is threatened. D. A person who is ignored. 2. What event marked a turning point in Malala Yousafzai’s advocacy? A. Her speech at the United Nations in 2013. B. The publication of her memoir, “I Am Malala”. C. Her recovery from the assassination attempt. D. Her winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014. 3. Which of the following best describes Malala Yousafzai? A. Courageous and determined. B. Ambitious and competitive. C. Humorous and optimistic. D. Modest and reserved. 4. What message does Malala Yousafzai’s story convey? A. Education is the key to empowerment. B. Fame brings both opportunities and dangers. C. Young people can make significant contributions. D. Adversity can be overcome with resilience and hope. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. A 4. D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了马拉拉·优素福扎伊在巴基斯坦的成长经历、她为争取女性教育权利所做出的努力、遭受塔利班袭击后的康复以及她获得诺贝尔和平奖的过程。文章强调了马拉拉的勇气、决心和对教育的执着。    1. 词句猜测题。由文章第二段中“At the tender age of 11, Malala embarked on her advocacy for girls’ education in her hometown, undeterred by the threats emanating from the Taliban, who vehemently opposed female education. Her remarkable courage and tenacity garnered international attention, but it also rendered her a high-profile target.

It can also benefit a community in surprising ways. Mateo Lange, 15, knows this well. On weekends, you’ll find him sorting through glass and plastic bottles and aluminum cans in his hometown of Indian River, Michigan, where he leads a community recycling program. Mateo launched the program in 2020. At that time, he was 11 and in the sixth grade, playing baseball with the Northern Michigan Cyclones. The team was new and needed money to travel to tournaments. Mateo pitched a plan. “There were always cans and bottles thrown around the road,” Mateo says. In Michigan, these cans and bottles can be collected and redeemed for cash. With his dad’s help, Mateo started a bottle and can drive. It raised $7,500. “We built up so much money in the span of just a few weeks,” he says. “So, I said, ‘Why don’t we keep this going as long as we can?’” Since then, his recycling effort has raised $350,000 and helped at least 50 local youth groups. It has also prevented more than 2 million bottles and cans from littering the roadside and polluting Michigan’s lakes and rivers. “It’s kept our community a lot cleaner,” he says. Mateo and his dad also did pickups. They would knock on the door, asking for pickups, grab the bags and haul them to trucks. Then they’d return them directly to the beverage distributors for reimbursement (补偿). “It was actually a lot of fun,” he says, “especially in the summertime.” In 2023, Mateo was awarded a Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes. The award honors kids and teens who are working to help others and protect the planet Earth. “It feels humbling,” Mateo says, when asked about all he’s accomplished with his cleanup effort. “I am happy to know that all these teams and clubs and kids around the community are benefiting.” Mateo believes everyone can—and should—be of service. “Just do a little bit to help make the world a little bit of a better place,” he says. 1. What primarily motivated Mateo to start his recycling program? A. Starting a recycling business. B. Gaining personal recognition. C. Raising funds for his team. D. Discouraging littering everywhere. 2. How did Mateo’s trash-to-treasure experience influence him? A. It taught him how to raise money for his team. B. It motivated him to become a professional baseball athlete. C. It made him focus more on starting a business through recycling. D. It inspired him to develop a long term community service initiative. 3. What can best describe Mateo’s father? A. Caring and ambitious. B. Determined and passionate. C. Economical and confident. D. Supportive and active. 4. What can be drawn from Mateo’s achievements? A. Community service needs funding. B. Individual actions can make a difference. C. Only adults can make environmental efforts.

He said he considered Shiffrin’s technical skills and risk management incomparable and couldn’t decide whether she compares more to LeBron James because of her physical gifts or to Michael Jordan, since she makes dominance look easy. She may make it look easy, but Shiffrin plays a strong mental game. From an early age, she took an interest in the mind-body aspects of sports. She read books like The Inner Game of Tennis, the influential book to quiet one’s mind in order to reach peak performance. “She was mindful as a 9-year-old,” says John Cole, human- performance director at Ski and Snowboard Club Vail, “before anyone knew what that was.” Shiffrin has been similarly ahead of the pattern on sleep. Ever since she played poorly in a middle-school soccer game after staying up late reading horror stories at a slumber party (睡衣派对), she has been crazy about getting enough shut-eye. She’s famous on the World Cup circuit for taking naps. Shiffrin went to high school at Burke Mountain Academy, a hillside school for ski racers in Vermont. Even among her fellow athletes, she was single-minded in her devotion to training, often quitting parties and dates. Shiffrin’s commitment was clear, but she couldn’t avoid the anxiety that can destroy a skier’s career. At the start of the 2016 season, she began to experience severe sickness before races. After consulting a sports psychologist, Shiffrin learned techniques to manage her nerves, and then she achieved victory after victory. 1. What is one of the reasons for Shiffrin’s success according to Miller? A. Her hard work. B. Her risk handling. C. Her faith. D. Her competitors. 2. What can be inferred from what John Cole said? A. Mind-focus aspects were difficult for kids. B. Mind-body interest was a very new concept. C. Shiffrin’s early mental focus was rare for her age. D. Physical ability determined an athlete’s success. 3. Which words can best describe Mikaela Shiffrin? A. Ambitious and honest. B. Talented and devoted. C. Considerate and dependent. D. Responsible and gentle. 4. How did Shiffrin deal with her anxiety? A. By getting enough shut-eye. B. By quitting parties and dates. C. By majoring in psychology. D. By seeking advice from an expert. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 4.

Since she took up knitting in the 1990s, Matsouka has easily made over 3,000 scarves, her daughter estimates. In the hallway by the door, shopping bags filled with her latest creations await their new home. A knitted blanket is thrown over the sofa where she spends her days. Initially distributed to friends, the scarves were later contributed to children’s shelters across Greece as the stock expanded. Then, through acquaintances, they reached children in Bosnia and Ukraine. The latest batch of 70 went to a refugee camp near Athens this winter via the UN refugee agency. Her daughter, Angeliki, narrates drawings and mails her mother has received over the years: “Thank you, be well, keep going. You gave joy to children, you gave joy to people.” That’s her only reward: a letter, a few words. Matsouka knits one scarf a day, now with small imperfections. Her vision is impaired and she suffers from severe facial pain, a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia (三叉神经痛). Angeliki says her mother is an example of resilience and optimism. Matsouka wakes up every morning, drinks a glass of milk, puts on her pearl earrings and gets to work. She takes a break for lunch and a nap, and then painstakingly knits into the night. She may have even found the secret to a long life in it, she says. “It’s the happiness I get from giving,” she says, sitting beside a big blue bag brimming with yarn (纱线). “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka says. Her knitting needles click through her expert fingers, her nails painted red. “It brings me joy to share them.” 1. What did the scarves begin as? A. Presents to acquaintances. B. Initiatives for fundraising. C. Donation to a refugee camp. D. Stock for children’s shelters. 2. What can be inferred about Matsouka from paragraph 4? A. She yields to her severely impaired vision. B. She wakes up every morning due to facial pain. C. She continues knitting despite her health challenges. D. She is only rewarded with drawings from her daughter. 3. Which of the following words fail to describe Matsouka? A. Resilient and reserved. B. Optimistic and generous. C. Persevering and passionate. D. Responsible and sympathetic. 4. What message does the article mainly convey? A. The eye is bigger than the belly. B. Giving is better than accepting. C. An early bird catches the worm. D. A rolling stone gathers no moss. 【答案】1.

But when your professor is a social media star, it’s a little bit easier. Tatiana Erukhimova, who teaches physics at Texas A&M University, has managed to get her students, as well as future generations, excited about the science. Known as “Dr. Tatiana” to her students and online fan base, the professor performs physics tricks with boundless energy and enthusiasm. In the kid-friendly videos, Erukhimova uses a range of everyday objects in her experiments, from pingpong balls to toilet paper. Her department’s YouTube page has about 2.5 million followers. She got famous on YouTube. It’s clear she knows what it takes to get young people excited about a hard science. But it wasn’t always that way. When she first started teaching college freshman classes almost two decades ago, she struggled to grab the attention of her younger students. She was used to teaching juniors, as she had for a few years prior to that. By junior year, students enrolled in physics are committed to learn, she says. With them, she could walk through the syllabus (教学大纲) on day one, and still command the room. But when it comes to teaching a large lecture hall of 100-plus first-year students, first impressions are make-or-break. By the second semester, she found her footing (立足点), adjusting her approach to get her students engaged. “Talk to your students before and after class, walk up and down the stairs when you teach your class rather than stay on the stage. And don’t just lecture, talk to them — make it interactive,” she says. And, of course, add showy demonstrations to help students to connect these abstract concepts with real life. She’s earned more than just recognition on social media. In October, she was honored with a national award for science outreach “for leadership in bringing the excitement of physics through innovative education programs.” 1. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A. By posing a contrast. B. By justifying an assumption. C. By giving an example. D. By explaining a phenomenon. 2. What challenge did college freshman courses pose to Tatiana? A. Introducing the syllabus to her students. B. Preventing her students’ absent-mindedness. C. Creating a lasting impression on her students. D. Finding a lecture hall large enough for her students. 3. How did Tatiana find her footing in her teaching? A. By lecturing students more. B. By bonding with her freshmen. C. By becoming a social media star. D. By answering all her students’ questions. 4. Which best describes Tatiana Erukhimova? A. Rigid. B. Humorous. C. Demanding. D. Flexible. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. B 4. D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了网红物理教授Tatiana Erukhimova她如何通过创意物理实验和在线视频吸引大量观众，展示了她在教学上的热情、创新及影响，同时也涉及了其个人背景和职业生涯的发展。 1. 推理判断题。根据第一段“College professors these days face an ever-higher bar to get the attention of their students, forced to compete with smartphones and laptops in large lecture halls. But when your professor is a social media star, it’s a little bit easier.( 如今，大学教授为了吸引学生的注意力，面临着越来越高的门槛，他们被迫在大讲堂里与智能手机和笔记本电脑竞争。但如果你的教授是社交媒体明星，那就容易多了。)”可知，作者首先提出了大学教授在吸引学生注意力方面面临的挑战，转折后引出了当教授是社交媒体明星时，情况会有所不同。由此可推断，作者在第一段是通过对比的方式引入话题。故选A项。 2. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“It’s clear she knows what it takes to get young people excited about a hard science. But it wasn’t always that way. When she first started teaching college freshman classes almost two decades ago, she struggled to grab the attention of her younger students.( 很明显，她知道怎样才能让年轻人对一门硬科学产生兴趣。但事情并不总是这样。大约20年前，当她第一次开始教授大学新生课程时，她很难吸引年轻学生的注意力。)”可知，对Tatiana来说，给大学一年级新生上课的挑战在于抓住学生的注意力，防止他们走神。故选B项。 3. 细节理解题。根据第四段“By the second semester, she found her footing (立足点), adjusting her approach to get her students engaged. “Talk to your students before and after class, walk up and down the stairs when you teach your class rather than stay on the stage.

A gifted singer, Jeff began writing songs when he was in high school. “I was going to be the next Lionel Richie,” he recalls with a smile. In time, however, Jeff began to write songs, and in the early 1980s formed a group called The Steeles. Within a decade, not only had the group signed a recording contract with Daywind Records, but Jeff became a staff writer for the label and moved his family to Nashville, Tennessee. Throughout the 1990s, Jeff penned a string of hits for Daywind, including four No. 1 songs for The Steeles. But not only does Jeff write for his group, he also has his songs recorded by other artists that include Greater Vision, The Florida Boys, The Perrys, The Gaither Vocal Band and others. Jeff’s efforts have collected four BMI Awards for radio singles by Karen Peck & New River, The Inspirations, and Legacy Five, along with a popular song by The Steeles. That song also received a Dove Awards nomination (提名), as did “Not One Word” by The Collingsworth Family. What has changed for Jeff regarding songwriting over the last three decades? “I used to write everything alone, but now I enjoy co-writing, especially with my son, Brad.” The Steeles’ latest StowTown Records release, Be the Reason, contains multiple songs penned by the father and son, with each having an unusual feel. Perhaps this is because Brad — at age 30 — is writing as a young man from the point of looking forward, and Jeff — at age 63 — is writing from a pen of wisdom and experience. This may also be part of the reason that their songs are connecting with all of us: because we, as listeners, can benefit from both generations. 1. Who might Lionel Richie be? A. A writer. B. A friend of Jeff’s. C. A well-known musician. D. A member of The Steeles. 2. What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on? A. Jeff’s crucial role in his group. B. Jeff’s influence on other artists. C. Jeff’s secret to success as a singer. D. Jeff’s extraordinary achievements. 3. What is special about Be the Reason? A. It was completed by Brad himself. B. It contains a multi-generational feel. C. It displays people from all walks of life. D. It received a Dove Awards nomination. 4. Which of the following can best describe Jeff? A. Talented and devoted. B. Tough and generous. C. Scholarly and friendly. D. Ambitious and imaginative. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B 4. A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了Jeff Steele的音乐之旅。 1. 推理判断题。根据第一段“A gifted singer, Jeff began writing songs when he was in high school. “I was going to be the next Lionel Richie,” he recalls with a smile.

One post online tells us that the elderly man will be the oldest participant in the race in 2024! This actually won’t be the first time that Charly has set a record like this. In 2023, he also became the oldest runner to complete the Paris Marathon! Runner’s World tells us that it took Charly Bancarel over seven hours to complete the 26.2 mile race. Although he was one of the final hundred participants to cross the finish line, this was still an incredible achievement at 93 years old! What’s especially impressive is that Charly Bancarel didn’t even get into running until he was 55 years old. He completed his first marathon when he was 70 and would go on to finish over 10 of these races in total! Now, the 94-year-old is getting ready for the Paris 2024 Marathon Pour Tous, or Marathon For All. This version of the race is much more open to the public. For the first time, the city will invite non-professional athletes to participate in an Olympic Marathon event of their own. There will also be a shorter route for those unable to complete the whole thing. “Paris 2024 promised to revolutionise the Olympic and Paralympic Games experience for the public,” reads the Olympic Games Paris 2024 website. “Many people shared a dream that is now a reality: with the Paris 2024 Mass Participation Marathon, amateur athletes will be able to run the Olympic marathon route at night, enabling as many people as possible to follow in the footsteps of outstanding athletes.” Honors to Charly Bancarel for not letting his age keep him from going after his goals! We’ll be rooting for him during the race. 1. Which words can best describe Charly Bancarel according to paragraph 2? A. Ambitious and kind. B. Hard-working and reliable. C. Patient and efficient. D. Strong-willed and admirable. 2. What will be a highlight for the Paris 2024 Marathon Pour Tous? A. A planned running route. B. The long lasting match time. C. Amateur athletes’ participation. D. The high percentage of the young. 3. Why did Paris 2024 promise to revolutionise the Olympic? A. To involve large public. B. To inspire professional athletes. C. To popularize the event. D. To follow in others’ footsteps. 4. What could be the best title for the text? A. Charly Bancarel Started Running at 55 B. Charly Bancarel Sets His Sights on a New Record C. Paris 2024 Marathon Is Open to Excellent Athletes D. Paris Marathon Pour Tous Will Be a Great Success 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 4.

Although he was one of the final hundred participants to cross the finish line, this was still an incredible achievement at 93 years old! What’s especially impressive is that Charly Bancarel didn’t even get into running until he was 55 years old. He completed his first marathon when he was 7.0 and would go on to finish over 10 of these races in total! (《跑步者世界》告诉我们，Charly Bancarel花了七个多小时才跑完26.2英里的赛程。虽然他是最后一百名冲过终点线的选手之一，但在93岁的高龄，这仍然是一项令人难以置信的成就!特别令人印象深刻的是，Charly Bancarel直到55岁才开始跑步。他在70岁时完成了第一场马拉松比赛，总共完成了十多场这样的比赛!)”可知，Charly Bancarel高龄坚持跑步并完成多场马拉松，体现了他意志坚强，且他的成就令人钦佩。由此可推断，他是意志坚强且令人钦佩的。故选D项。 3. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“For the first time, the city will invite non professional athletes to participate in an Olympic Marathon event of their own.

One post online tells us that the elderly man will be the oldest participant in the race in 2024! This actually won’t be the first time that Charly has set a record like this. (对于94岁的Charly Bancarel来说，年龄真的只是一个数字，他将参加今年的巴黎全民马拉松赛。网上的一篇帖子告诉我们，这位老人将成为2024年这场比赛中最年长的参赛者!事实上，这并不是Charly第一次创造这样的记录。)”和最后一段“Honors to Charly Bancarel for not letting his age keep him from going after his goals! We’ll be rooting for him during the race. (向Charly Bancarel致敬，因为他没有让年龄阻碍他追求目标！我们将在比赛中为他加油)”可知，文章主要围绕Charly Bancarel将参加2024年巴黎马拉松并有望创造新纪录展开。故B项“Charly Bancarel Sets His Sights on a New Record (Charly Bancarel瞄准新纪录)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选B项。 [调研11]（2025·河北·一模）Babe Ruth, known by nicknames like the “Sultan of Swat” and the “Colossus of Clout”, was famous for his amazing skills on the baseball field. But not many people know that he was also a pioneer in cancer treatment. Born in February 1895, Babe Ruth was already the undoubted king of baseball by the lime he turned 30. His career was filled with record-breaking achievements, including setting new single-season home run records three years in a row. Despite his success on the field, his lifestyle off the field was not very healthy, which eventually led to health problems. In 1925, Ruth collapsed due to severe stomach pain caused by his poor diet, which included eating too many hot dogs and drinking lots of soda. This event sparked rumors (谣言) about his death but actually led to a suspension from baseball in 1925. When he became seriously ill in 1946, doctors discovered he had nasopharyngeal cancer. Traditional treatments did not stop the progress of his illness. In 1947, Dr. Richard Lewisohn suggested that Ruth participate in a clinical trial for teropterin, an experimental drug that had only been tested on rats before. This made Ruth one of the first patients to receive chemotherapy (化疗). “I realized that if anything was learned about that type of treatment, whether good or bad,” Ruth wrote in his autobiography, “it would be useful in the future for doctors and maybe for a lot of people with the same problem as mine.” Ruth’s response to the treatment was initially positive, though it did not last long. He passed away on August 16, 1948, but his legacy in both sports and medicine lives on. Thanks to Ruth and other early participants, chemotherapy became widely available in the 1950s, significantly improving survival rates for various types of cancer. 1. What can be inferred about Babe Ruth in paragraph 1? A. He was known for his nicknames. B. He was the best baseball player of his time. C. His training method off the field ruined his health. D. Few people know that he devoted a lot to cancer treatment. 2. What led to Ruth’s collapse in 1925? A. His constant training. B. Unbalanced daily diets. C. Some rumors about his death. D. Ineffective traditional treatments. 3. What does the author want to show by quoting Ruth’s autobiography in paragraph 3? A. Ruth’s achievements in baseball. B. Ruth’s curiosity about chemotherapy. C. Ruth’s doubt about the new treatment. D. Ruth’s contribution to cancer treatment. 4. Which of the following words can best describe Babe Ruth? A. Modest and generous. B. Ambitious and proud. C. Energetic and devoted. D. Optimistic and courageous. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. D 4. D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了棒球传奇人物贝比·鲁斯（Babe Ruth）不仅在棒球领域取得了卓越成就，还是癌症治疗领域的先驱。 1. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Babe Ruth, known by nicknames like the ‘Sultan of Swat’ and the ‘Colossus of Clout’, was famous for his amazing skills on the baseball field.

They had just moved back to Iceland from the United States and were struggling with jet lag (时差). When his three-year-old son wanted a drink from a corner store, Halli faced a problem: a 20-centimetre step blocked his wheelchair from entering the store. This was not new to Halli, who has used a wheelchair since age 25 due to a muscle disease. As he waited outside, he thought about how often he had been excluded from places like restaurants and stores because they were not accessible. Halli, a successful digital designer, had lived in many cities worldwide and noticed how differently they approached accessibility. After selling his company, Ueno, to Twitter (now X), he decided to use his resources to make Iceland more wheelchair-friendly. In 2021, he launched Ramp (斜坡) Up Reykjavik, a non-profit project aiming to build 100 permanent ramps in the city’s downtown within a year. Unlike temporary ramps in other cities, these were designed to fit perfectly with the buildings, making them look like they had always been there. With government funding and sponsors, the project went beyond its goal and expanded nationwide. By 2026, the team plans to build 1,500 ramps across Iceland, costing about 400 million Icelandic krona. Iceland’s president praised the project, saying, “We want our society to be inclusive. Halli has shown us how easy it is to make a difference when we work together.” In just three years, Halli has become a local hero, known as a “kind tech giant”. He hopes his work inspires others. Recently, a woman built a ramp at her home so her wheelchair-using friend could visit easily. “Equal access is not a reality yet,” he says, “but change starts with one person.” 1. What inspired Halli to start the ‘Ramp Up Reykjavik’ project? A. The lack of wheelchair access. B. His son’s difficulty in finding a drink. C. A suggestion from Iceland’s president. D. His desire to become famous in Iceland. 2. How are the ramps built by ‘Ramp Up Reykjavik’ different from those in other cities? A. They are cheap to construct. B. They are only built in downtown. C. They are temporary and movable. D. They look fitted with the buildings forever. 3. Which of the following best describes Halli? A. Generous and patient. B. Positive and energetic. C. Smart and hardworking. D. Inspiring and pioneering. 4. What dose Halli expect people to do about equal access? A. Go ahead to start from small. B. Build ramps in every city. C. Appeal to government for funds. D. Raise awareness through media. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. D 4. A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了Halli因肌肉疾病使用轮椅，在回到冰岛后面临诸多不便，于是他决定利用自己的资源发起“Ramp Up Reykjavik”非营利项目，旨在为雷克雅未克市中心建造永久斜坡，以方便轮椅通行。他的行动证明了共同努力可以使社会更加包容。 1. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“As he waited outside, he thought about how often he had been excluded from places like restaurants and stores because they were not accessible.

But by the time she graduated from university, the farm had been sold, because her grandfather suffered a major accident while burning plastic agricultural waste. Years later, Christmon realized she could honor her grandfather’s memory and support the farming community in a different way: by ensuring farmers never have to burn plastics in the first place. In 2021, she co-founded a startup called Repurpose Farm Plastic that aims to collect and clean farmers’ unwanted plastics. Once treated, these commonly used items can be recycled into other useful products. Christmon’s team participated in Innovation Corps (I-Corps), an entrepreneurial training program, where Christmon’s mentors (导师) encouraged her to turn her idea into a startup. “I thought business wasn’t for me — I’m a scientist!” she said. “But when we conducted interviews with farmers, everyone was so eager to talk to us. Every farmer told us they would pay the same for a trash removal service or more for recycling pickup. I thought, ‘OK, if no one else is working on this, I guess it’s going to be me.’” Christmon launched Repurpose Farm Plastic with help from I-Corps, and built the plastic cleaning equipment, which is currently ready for mass production. Their machine — a little larger than a dining table — does not rely on water. It uses a drying technology to remove 99% of the dirt from agricultural plastics. Once cleaned, these plastics can be handed off to companies that ultimately transform them into furniture, decking and similar items. Christmon says this not only reduces wastefulness but also serves a greater environmental good. Christmon and Rickles hope to start collecting plastic from farms and launch the business soon. Building a startup has been a major time commitment, but she doesn’t mind as long as she’s helping people and the environment in the process. 1. What originally motivated Christmon to work on plastic recycling? A. Her farming experience. B. Her university education. C. Her grandfather’s sufferings. D. Her mentors’ encouragement. 2. What can we infer about Christmon from paragraph 4? A. She got much support from farmers. B. She once doubted her professional competence. C. She was forced to found the startup originally. D. She met great misunderstanding in her business. 3. What does Christmon’s machine mainly do? A. Dry the dirt. B. Purify the water. C. Clean the plastics. D. Produce dining tables. 4. Which of the following can best describe Christmon? A. Curious and faithful. B. Creative and devoted. C. Ambitious and patient. D. Kind and generous. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. C 4. B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Christmon博士努力研发农业废弃塑料处理设备的故事。 1. 细节理解题。根据第一段“But by the time she graduated from university, the farm had been sold, because her grandfather suffered a major accident while burning plastic agricultural waste.(但当她大学毕业时，农场已经被卖掉了，因为她的祖父在燃烧塑料农业废物时遭遇了重大事故。)”和第二段“Years later, Christmon realized she could honor her grandfather’s memory and support the farming community in a different way: by ensuring farmers never have to burn plastics in the first place.(多年后，Christmon意识到她可以以另一种方式纪念她的祖父，并支持农业社区：确保农民从一开始就不必燃烧塑料。)”可知，Christmon从事塑料回收工作的最初动机是她祖父的苦难。故选C。 2. 推理判断题。根据第四段“Every farmer told us they would pay the same for a trash removal service or more for recycling pickup.(每个农民都告诉我们，他们愿意为垃圾清除服务支付同样的费用，或者为回收车支付更高的费用。)”可知，Christmon得到了很多农民的支持。故选 A。 3. 细节理解题。根据第五段“It uses a drying technology to remove 99% of the dirt from agricultural plastics.(它使用干燥技术去除农业塑料中99%的污垢。)”可知，Christmon的机器主要做清洁塑料工作。故选C。 4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Building a startup has been a major time commitment, but she doesn’t mind as long as she’s helping people and the environment in the process.(创建一家初创公司需要花费大量的时间，但她并不介意，只要在这个过程中她能帮助到人们和环境。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了Christmon 博士为了帮助农民更好的处理农业废弃塑料, 努力研发处理设备的故事, 因此B项“Creative and devoted.(有创造力和献身精神。)”为最佳选项。故选B。 [调研14]（2025·广东深圳·一模）My husband Stephen and I had planned a trip to Lithuania and Poland, but his worsening heart condition prevented him from joining. He insisted I go alone, marking my first solo journey in over 20 years. Despite my fears, I set off, feeling like I was on a flying Noah’s Ark surrounded by couples. In Vilnius, I found comfort in a website, which offered pay-what-you-choose walking tours. These tours became the highlight of my trip. I took five tours, each morning setting out to explore the city’s old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and sent Stephen photos each night. Our guide, Ieva, shared her deep knowledge of history and culture. I connected with travelers from various backgrounds, including a Polish professor who invited me to an art exhibit. I also traced my grandmother’s footsteps in Jewish Vilnius, visiting places she might have known. These tours, full of surprises, were perfect for a solo traveler, offering connection and flexibility. On my last day, Ieva gifted me a chocolate map of Lithuania for my enthusiastic participation. I missed Stephen but grew increasingly confident in managing daily life challenges. I navigated apartment lockboxes, shopped in local supermarkets, and cooked, activities I was once less skillful at. In Poland, I continued with pay-what-you-choose tours, adapting to larger groups. I walked over 20,000 steps daily, often revisiting places from the tours or discovering street festivals. In Lodz, I took a private tour with Milena, who helped me find my family’s history, including the homes of my great aunts and their sufferings during the war. Stephen was hospitalized just before I returned, and we spent his hospital stay looking at my trip photos and videos. His recovery was slow, but my independent travels allowed me to manage our home smoothly, benefiting us both.

But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine – combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine. Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets. Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.” 24. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him? A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict. C. He’s brave. D. He’s rude. 25. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian. C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners. 26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work. C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine. 27. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? A. To prove Farber’s point. B. To emphasize its importance. C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection. (2020北京卷第37题)Baggy has become the first dog in the UK--and potentially the world--to join the fight against air pollution by recording pollutant levels near the ground. Baggy wears a pollution monitor on her collar so she can take data measurements close to the ground. Her monitor has shown that air pollution levels are higher closer to ground level, which has helped highlight concerns that babies and young kids may be at higher risk of developing lung problems. Conventional air pollution monitors are normally fixed on lampposts at about nine feet in the air. However, since Baggy stands at about the same height as a child in a pushchair(婴儿车), she frequently records pollution levels which are much higher than the data gathered by the Environment Agency. The doggy data research was the idea of Baggy's 13-year-old owner Tom Hunt and his dad Matt. The English youngster noticed that pollution levels are around two-thirds higher close to the ground than they are in the air at the height where they are recorded by the agency. Tom has since reported the shocking findings to the government in an attempt to emphasise that babies are at higher risk of developing asthma(哮喘). Matt Hunt said he was "very proud" of his son because “when the boy gets an idea, he keeps his head down and gets on with it, and he really does want to do some good and stop young kids from getting asthma." “Tom built up a passion for environmental protection at a very early age, "Matt added. “He became very interested in gadgets(小装置). A bout one year ago, he got this new piece of tech which is like a test tube. One Sunday afternoon, we went out to do some monitoring, and he said, why don't we put it on Baggy's collar and let her monitor the pollution? 'So we did it." Tom said, "Most of the time, Baggy is just like any other dog. But for the rest of the time she is a super dog, and we are all really proud of her." 34. With a monitor on her collar, Baggy can _____. A. take pollutant readings B. record pollutant levels C. process collected data D. reduce air pollution 35. What can we learn from the Baggy data? A. High places are free of air pollution. B. Higher pushchairs are more risky for kids. C. Conventional monitors are more reliable. D. Air is more polluted closer to the ground. 36. What is Tom's purpose of doing the research? A. To warn of a health risk. B. To find out pollution sources. C. To test his new monitor. D. To prove Baggy's abilities. 37. According to the passage, which word can best describe Tom Hunt? A. Modest. B. Generous. C. Creative. D. Outgoing. 技能专区：名师点津助力冲刺备考，提供高效提分干货，帮你举一反三提分 [解题妙招] “性格描述题”的最优处理方法： 第一、先整体把握人物经历、产品性能及文章主题，多为弘扬“真善美”主旋律主题。 第二、结合题干锁定原文答题区间，圈划关键词句，尤其是动词和形容词，注意提炼态度倾向。 第三、比对选项形容词的褒贬性，多为并列型，一对一错，采用“排除法”，去伪存真确定答案。 [满分策略] 1.做题留痕，依据题干在原文圈划答题区间； 2.划掉错项，去伪存真，快速作答提升效率； 3.错题反思，专用笔记本记录错因举一反三。 模拟专区：做好题才有好成绩！练技能，补漏洞，提分数，练速度，强信心 [调研01]（2025·黑龙江·一模）Until recently, most evenings, after my kid had finally fallen asleep, I would sink into the sofa, turn on Netflix, and watch episode after episode until either my exhaustion or my husband would call time on this pitiful sight. Turning the television off, I'd experience a surge of self-disgust at how dry my eyes felt, and disappointment that the whole evening had disappeared. I would be momentarily but overwhelmingly surprised by my re-entry into a world in which there were no socially-awkward-but-brilliant private detectives, but just a dishwasher that needed loading and a child who would be waking all too soon. I felt crushed by this return to my life. I started to think more about what was happening as I turned the TV on — why I would plan to watch just one episode, but when I came to the end of it, I'd find myself unable to stop. It was as if I had no space in my mind to make any other choice; I was swallowing up episodes without digesting them, without even chewing them over, swallowing each one whole. There is a way of consuming TV, and perhaps everything, that makes it very difficult to feel what the“right amount” is, because it is more about getting away from something, rather than digesting something. Of course, we all need a little escapism every now and then. But if we escape ourselves completely, and for too long, we can lose touch with the ordinary, deeply meaningful moments of our day-to-day lives, such as cooking a nice meal for dinner. Between my child and my job and my odd detective TV shows, I have not been very good at cooking. Eating has come to feel like something I do to survive, rather than something I enjoy. I've lost my appetite—not in the sense of not being hungry, but in the sense of losing contact with a part of myself — my appetite for life. Recently, I decided to have a night off from watching TV. I didn't turn it on and I was amazed by how much time I had. I tidied the kitchen and felt satisfied by the ordinary, everyday experience of contributing something useful to family life, rather than escaping it. I felt I wanted more evenings like that, and not so many lost in TV. But does it have to be all or nothing? Or can I stay in contact with my appetite and find my way to an amount that feels right? 1. Why did the author feel disappointed when turning the TV off? A. Because her eyes felt dry. B. Because her child would wake soon. C. Because the whole evening had been wasted. D. Because her husband put an end to the night. 2. What may happen if we escape ourselves thoroughly? A. Getting away from watching TV. B. Missing daily highlights. C. Avoiding a chance to survive. D. Losing touch with detectives. 3. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Self-reflective and sensible. B. Self-content and honest. C. Thoughtful and modest. D. Talented and passionate. 4. What can be the best title for the text? A. What is a wasteful night? B. How can you relax at night? C. How can you regain your appetite for life? D. What do you feel exhausted about?

She has cultivated a profound cultural and emotional bond that spans generations. Elyn has lived in China for over three decades, during which time her affection for this land has grown immeasurably. In 2015, she and her husband embarked on a meaningful journey to explore the rich history and culture of Kuliang, a renowned summer resort in Fuzhou that has long been a favored destination for foreigners, including numerous Americans. Since the 1880s, these foreign residents have coexisted harmoniously with the local Chinese community. The following year, Elyn took significant steps to promote Kuliang’s heritage. She launched an English website dedicated to the history and charm of Kuliang and established the “Kuliang Friends” group in the United States. The members of this group trace their ancestry to doctors, technicians, missionaries, and traders who once called Kuliang home. Today, with a membership exceeding 50, the group has evolved into an essential driving force behind non-governmental friendly exchanges between China and the United States.

Inspired by Marco Polo, who traveled to China along the ancient Silk Road in 1275, Cammarota set off from the legendary explorer’s hometown of Venice to retrace the route on foot. “I want to compare the China described by Marco Polo over 700 years ago with the China of today through my journey. I also hope to share my experiences and observations in China with my fellow Italians,” she says. She first spent a few days making inroads into the ancient city of Kashgar in the autonomous region, experiencing the local folk customs and history, ranging from a century-old teahouse where she engaged with residents to learn about tea culture to a naan bread shop where she tried her hand at making the traditional staple food. During her stay, she documented the history and modernity of the ancient city through the lens of a camera, which she will share with the world. Starting from Kashgar, Cammarota will set about a 15-month cultural journey across China and explore over 30 cities in 17 provinces and autonomous regions. Her journey will end in Beijing to mark the 750th anniversary of Marco Polo’s arrival in China. She has only a backpack of about 20 kilos, which carries her summer and winter clothing and kits, including a portable compass, a small knife and a bottle of pepper spray for protection against animal attacks.

[调研04]（2025·广东佛山·一模）Malala Yousafzai is widely acknowledged as one of the preeminent young activists on the global stage. Among her numerous accolades are her roles as an advocate for education, a human rights activist, and a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Born in Mingora, Pakistan, in 1997, Malala encountered formidable challenges from a tender age, yet she emerged as a global emblem of resilience and unwavering determination. At the tender age of 11, Malala embarked on her advocacy for girls’ education in her hometown, undeterred by the threats emanating from the Taliban, who vehemently opposed female education. Her remarkable courage and tenacity garnered international attention, but it also rendered her a high-profile target. In 2012, she was the victim of a brutal attack by a gunman while en route home from school. The assassination attempt, intended to silence her, paradoxically amplified her voice on the global stage, propelling her message to an international audience. How did Malala Yousafzai transmute adversity into advocacy and ascend to global icon status? Following her arduous recovery, she persisted in championing the right to education. Her inaugural speech at the United Nations in 2013 represented a seminal moment in her trajectory. Subsequently, she co-authored her memoir, “I Am Malala,” which ascended to international bestseller status. In 2014, at the precocious age of 17, she was conferred the Nobel Peace Prize, becoming the youngest-ever laureate for her valiant struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the universal right to education. Malala’s activism transcends the realm of education. She has leveraged her influential platform to advocate for human rights, gender equality, and peace. Her organization, the Malala Fund, is dedicated to ensuring that every girl has access to 12 years of free, safe, and quality education. Despite the myriad challenges she has faced, Malala remains an indomitable beacon of hope and inspiration for millions across the globe. The salient lesson we can glean from Malala Yousafzai’s extraordinary life is that even in the crucible of great peril, one can summon the courage to stand up for what is right and effect meaningful change. 1.

[调研05]（2024·全国·模拟预测）Recycling is good for the environment. It can also benefit a community in surprising ways. Mateo Lange, 15, knows this well. On weekends, you’ll find him sorting through glass and plastic bottles and aluminum cans in his hometown of Indian River, Michigan, where he leads a community recycling program. Mateo launched the program in 2020. At that time, he was 11 and in the sixth grade, playing baseball with the Northern Michigan Cyclones. The team was new and needed money to travel to tournaments. Mateo pitched a plan. “There were always cans and bottles thrown around the road,” Mateo says. In Michigan, these cans and bottles can be collected and redeemed for cash. With his dad’s help, Mateo started a bottle and can drive. It raised $7,500. “We built up so much money in the span of just a few weeks,” he says. “So, I said, ‘Why don’t we keep this going as long as we can?’” Since then, his recycling effort has raised $350,000 and helped at least 50 local youth groups. It has also prevented more than 2 million bottles and cans from littering the roadside and polluting Michigan’s lakes and rivers. “It’s kept our community a lot cleaner,” he says. Mateo and his dad also did pickups. They would knock on the door, asking for pickups, grab the bags and haul them to trucks. Then they’d return them directly to the beverage distributors for reimbursement (补偿). “It was actually a lot of fun,” he says, “especially in the summertime.” In 2023, Mateo was awarded a Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes. The award honors kids and teens who are working to help others and protect the planet Earth. “It feels humbling,” Mateo says, when asked about all he’s accomplished with his cleanup effort. “I am happy to know that all these teams and clubs and kids around the community are benefiting.” Mateo believes everyone can—and should—be of service. “Just do a little bit to help make the world a little bit of a better place,” he says. 1. What primarily motivated Mateo to start his recycling program? A. Starting a recycling business. B. Gaining personal recognition. C. Raising funds for his team. D.

[调研06]（2024·河南·模拟预测）American Mikaela Shiffrin has 97 World Cup wins - the most of any skier, male or female. “Mikaela is the best I’ve ever seen, male or female, in a few different categories,” six-time Olympic medalist Bode Miller told TIME in 2018, ahead of the 2018 Olympics. He said he considered Shiffrin’s technical skills and risk management incomparable and couldn’t decide whether she compares more to LeBron James because of her physical gifts or to Michael Jordan, since she makes dominance look easy. She may make it look easy, but Shiffrin plays a strong mental game. From an early age, she took an interest in the mind-body aspects of sports. She read books like The Inner Game of Tennis, the influential book to quiet one’s mind in order to reach peak performance. “She was mindful as a 9-year-old,” says John Cole, human- performance director at Ski and Snowboard Club Vail, “before anyone knew what that was.” Shiffrin has been similarly ahead of the pattern on sleep. Ever since she played poorly in a middle-school soccer game after staying up late reading horror stories at a slumber party (睡衣派对), she has been crazy about getting enough shut-eye. She’s famous on the World Cup circuit for taking naps. Shiffrin went to high school at Burke Mountain Academy, a hillside school for ski racers in Vermont. Even among her fellow athletes, she was single-minded in her devotion to training, often quitting parties and dates. Shiffrin’s commitment was clear, but she couldn’t avoid the anxiety that can destroy a skier’s career. At the start of the 2016 season, she began to experience severe sickness before races. After consulting a sports psychologist, Shiffrin learned techniques to manage her nerves, and then she achieved victory after victory. 1. What is one of the reasons for Shiffrin’s success according to Miller? A. Her hard work. B. Her risk handling. C. Her faith. D. Her competitors. 2. What can be inferred from what John Cole said? A. Mind-focus aspects were difficult for kids. B. Mind-body interest was a very new concept. C. Shiffrin’s early mental focus was rare for her age. D. Physical ability determined an athlete’s success. 3. Which words can best describe Mikaela Shiffrin? A. Ambitious and honest. B. Talented and devoted. C. Considerate and dependent. D. Responsible and gentle. 4. How did Shiffrin deal with her anxiety? A. By getting enough shut-eye. B. By quitting parties and dates. C. By majoring in psychology. D. By seeking advice from an expert. [调研07]（24-25高三上·江苏南通·期中）In her tiny Athens apartment, 93-year-old Ioanna Matsouka has knitted thousands of brightly colored scarves for children in need from Greece to Ukraine, and she has no plans to quit just yet. “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka says. Since she took up knitting in the 1990s, Matsouka has easily made over 3,000 scarves, her daughter estimates. In the hallway by the door, shopping bags filled with her latest creations await their new home. A knitted blanket is thrown over the sofa where she spends her days. Initially distributed to friends, the scarves were later contributed to children’s shelters across Greece as the stock expanded. Then, through acquaintances, they reached children in Bosnia and Ukraine. The latest batch of 70 went to a refugee camp near Athens this winter via the UN refugee agency. Her daughter, Angeliki, narrates drawings and mails her mother has received over the years: “Thank you, be well, keep going. You gave joy to children, you gave joy to people.” That’s her only reward: a letter, a few words. Matsouka knits one scarf a day, now with small imperfections. Her vision is impaired and she suffers from severe facial pain, a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia (三叉神经痛). Angeliki says her mother is an example of resilience and optimism. Matsouka wakes up every morning, drinks a glass of milk, puts on her pearl earrings and gets to work. She takes a break for lunch and a nap, and then painstakingly knits into the night. She may have even found the secret to a long life in it, she says. “It’s the happiness I get from giving,” she says, sitting beside a big blue bag brimming with yarn (纱线). “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka says. Her knitting needles click through her expert fingers, her nails painted red. “It brings me joy to share them.” 1. What did the scarves begin as? A. Presents to acquaintances. B. Initiatives for fundraising. C. Donation to a refugee camp. D. Stock for children’s shelters. 2. What can be inferred about Matsouka from paragraph 4? A. She yields to her severely impaired vision. B. She wakes up every morning due to facial pain. C. She continues knitting despite her health challenges. D. She is only rewarded with drawings from her daughter. 3. Which of the following words fail to describe Matsouka? A. Resilient and reserved. B. Optimistic and generous. C. Persevering and passionate. D. Responsible and sympathetic. 4. What message does the article mainly convey? A. The eye is bigger than the belly. B. Giving is better than accepting. C. An early bird catches the worm. D. A rolling stone gathers no moss. [调研08]（2024·陕西·模拟预测）College professors these days face an ever-higher bar to get the attention of their students, forced to compete with smartphones and laptops in large lecture halls. But when your professor is a social media star, it’s a little bit easier. Tatiana Erukhimova, who teaches physics at Texas A&M University, has managed to get her students, as well as future generations, excited about the science. Known as “Dr. Tatiana” to her students and online fan base, the professor performs physics tricks with boundless energy and enthusiasm. In the kid-friendly videos, Erukhimova uses a range of everyday objects in her experiments, from pingpong balls to toilet paper. Her department’s YouTube page has about 2.5 million followers. She got famous on YouTube. It’s clear she knows what it takes to get young people excited about a hard science. But it wasn’t always that way. When she first started teaching college freshman classes almost two decades ago, she struggled to grab the attention of her younger students. She was used to teaching juniors, as she had for a few years prior to that. By junior year, students enrolled in physics are committed to learn, she says. With them, she could walk through the syllabus (教学大纲) on day one, and still command the room. But when it comes to teaching a large lecture hall of 100-plus first-year students, first impressions are make-or-break. By the second semester, she found her footing (立足点), adjusting her approach to get her students engaged. “Talk to your students before and after class, walk up and down the stairs when you teach your class rather than stay on the stage. And don’t just lecture, talk to them — make it interactive,” she says. And, of course, add showy demonstrations to help students to connect these abstract concepts with real life. She’s earned more than just recognition on social media. In October, she was honored with a national award for science outreach “for leadership in bringing the excitement of physics through innovative education programs.” 1. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A. By posing a contrast. B. By justifying an assumption. C. By giving an example. D. By explaining a phenomenon. 2. What challenge did college freshman courses pose to Tatiana? A. Introducing the syllabus to her students. B. Preventing her students’ absent-mindedness. C. Creating a lasting impression on her students. D. Finding a lecture hall large enough for her students. 3. How did Tatiana find her footing in her teaching? A. By lecturing students more. B. By bonding with her freshmen. C. By becoming a social media star. D. By answering all her students’ questions. 4. Which best describes Tatiana Erukhimova? A. Rigid. B. Humorous. C. Demanding. D. Flexible. [调研09]（2024·江苏南通·一模）Jeff Steele was born in Texas and grew up in Mississippi. A gifted singer, Jeff began writing songs when he was in high school. “I was going to be the next Lionel Richie,” he recalls with a smile. In time, however, Jeff began to write songs, and in the early 1980s formed a group called The Steeles. Within a decade, not only had the group signed a recording contract with Daywind Records, but Jeff became a staff writer for the label and moved his family to Nashville, Tennessee. Throughout the 1990s, Jeff penned a string of hits for Daywind, including four No. 1 songs for The Steeles. But not only does Jeff write for his group, he also has his songs recorded by other artists that include Greater Vision, The Florida Boys, The Perrys, The Gaither Vocal Band and others. Jeff’s efforts have collected four BMI Awards for radio singles by Karen Peck & New River, The Inspirations, and Legacy Five, along with a popular song by The Steeles. That song also received a Dove Awards nomination (提名), as did “Not One Word” by The Collingsworth Family. What has changed for Jeff regarding songwriting over the last three decades? “I used to write everything alone, but now I enjoy co-writing, especially with my son, Brad.” The Steeles’ latest StowTown Records release, Be the Reason, contains multiple songs penned by the father and son, with each having an unusual feel. Perhaps this is because Brad — at age 30 — is writing as a young man from the point of looking forward, and Jeff — at age 63 — is writing from a pen of wisdom and experience. This may also be part of the reason that their songs are connecting with all of us: because we, as listeners, can benefit from both generations. 1. Who might Lionel Richie be? A. A writer. B. A friend of Jeff’s. C. A well-known musician. D. A member of The Steeles. 2. What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on? A. Jeff’s crucial role in his group. B. Jeff’s influence on other artists. C. Jeff’s secret to success as a singer. D. Jeff’s extraordinary achievements. 3. What is special about Be the Reason? A. It was completed by Brad himself. B. It contains a multi-generational feel. C. It displays people from all walks of life. D. It received a Dove Awards nomination. 4. Which of the following can best describe Jeff? A. Talented and devoted. B. Tough and generous. C.

But not many people know that he was also a pioneer in cancer treatment. Born in February 1895, Babe Ruth was already the undoubted king of baseball by the lime he turned 30. His career was filled with record-breaking achievements, including setting new single-season home run records three years in a row. Despite his success on the field, his lifestyle off the field was not very healthy, which eventually led to health problems. In 1925, Ruth collapsed due to severe stomach pain caused by his poor diet, which included eating too many hot dogs and drinking lots of soda. This event sparked rumors (谣言) about his death but actually led to a suspension from baseball in 1925. When he became seriously ill in 1946, doctors discovered he had nasopharyngeal cancer. Traditional treatments did not stop the progress of his illness. In 1947, Dr. Richard Lewisohn suggested that Ruth participate in a clinical trial for teropterin, an experimental drug that had only been tested on rats before. This made Ruth one of the first patients to receive chemotherapy (化疗). “I realized that if anything was learned about that type of treatment, whether good or bad,” Ruth wrote in his autobiography, “it would be useful in the future for doctors and maybe for a lot of people with the same problem as mine.” Ruth’s response to the treatment was initially positive, though it did not last long. He passed away on August 16, 1948, but his legacy in both sports and medicine lives on. Thanks to Ruth and other early participants, chemotherapy became widely available in the 1950s, significantly improving survival rates for various types of cancer. 1. What can be inferred about Babe Ruth in paragraph 1? A. He was known for his nicknames. B. He was the best baseball player of his time. C. His training method off the field ruined his health. D.

They had just moved back to Iceland from the United States and were struggling with jet lag (时差). When his three-year-old son wanted a drink from a corner store, Halli faced a problem: a 20-centimetre step blocked his wheelchair from entering the store. This was not new to Halli, who has used a wheelchair since age 25 due to a muscle disease. As he waited outside, he thought about how often he had been excluded from places like restaurants and stores because they were not accessible. Halli, a successful digital designer, had lived in many cities worldwide and noticed how differently they approached accessibility. After selling his company, Ueno, to Twitter (now X), he decided to use his resources to make Iceland more wheelchair-friendly. In 2021, he launched Ramp (斜坡) Up Reykjavik, a non-profit project aiming to build 100 permanent ramps in the city’s downtown within a year. Unlike temporary ramps in other cities, these were designed to fit perfectly with the buildings, making them look like they had always been there. With government funding and sponsors, the project went beyond its goal and expanded nationwide. By 2026, the team plans to build 1,500 ramps across Iceland, costing about 400 million Icelandic krona. Iceland’s president praised the project, saying, “We want our society to be inclusive. Halli has shown us how easy it is to make a difference when we work together.” In just three years, Halli has become a local hero, known as a “kind tech giant”. He hopes his work inspires others. Recently, a woman built a ramp at her home so her wheelchair-using friend could visit easily. “Equal access is not a reality yet,” he says, “but change starts with one person.” 1. What inspired Halli to start the ‘Ramp Up Reykjavik’ project? A. The lack of wheelchair access. B. His son’s difficulty in finding a drink. C. A suggestion from Iceland’s president. D. His desire to become famous in Iceland. 2. How are the ramps built by ‘Ramp Up Reykjavik’ different from those in other cities? A. They are cheap to construct. B. They are only built in downtown. C. They are temporary and movable. D. They look fitted with the buildings forever. 3. Which of the following best describes Halli? A. Generous and patient. B. Positive and energetic. C. Smart and hardworking. D. Inspiring and pioneering. 4. What dose Halli expect people to do about equal access? A. Go ahead to start from small. B. Build ramps in every city. C. Appeal to government for funds. D. Raise awareness through media. [调研13]（24-25高三下·辽宁·阶段练习）Growing up in rural Hungary, Krisztina Christmon Ph.D. , always imagined taking over her grandparents’ farm one day. But by the time she graduated from university, the farm had been sold, because her grandfather suffered a major accident while burning plastic agricultural waste. Years later, Christmon realized she could honor her grandfather’s memory and support the farming community in a different way: by ensuring farmers never have to burn plastics in the first place. In 2021, she co-founded a startup called Repurpose Farm Plastic that aims to collect and clean farmers’ unwanted plastics. Once treated, these commonly used items can be recycled into other useful products. Christmon’s team participated in Innovation Corps (I-Corps), an entrepreneurial training program, where Christmon’s mentors (导师) encouraged her to turn her idea into a startup. “I thought business wasn’t for me — I’m a scientist!” she said. “But when we conducted interviews with farmers, everyone was so eager to talk to us. Every farmer told us they would pay the same for a trash removal service or more for recycling pickup. I thought, ‘OK, if no one else is working on this, I guess it’s going to be me.’” Christmon launched Repurpose Farm Plastic with help from I-Corps, and built the plastic cleaning equipment, which is currently ready for mass production. Their machine — a little larger than a dining table — does not rely on water. It uses a drying technology to remove 99% of the dirt from agricultural plastics. Once cleaned, these plastics can be handed off to companies that ultimately transform them into furniture, decking and similar items. Christmon says this not only reduces wastefulness but also serves a greater environmental good. Christmon and Rickles hope to start collecting plastic from farms and launch the business soon. Building a startup has been a major time commitment, but she doesn’t mind as long as she’s helping people and the environment in the process. 1. What originally motivated Christmon to work on plastic recycling? A. Her farming experience. B. Her university education. C. Her grandfather’s sufferings. D. Her mentors’ encouragement. 2. What can we infer about Christmon from paragraph 4? A. She got much support from farmers. B. She once doubted her professional competence. C. She was forced to found the startup originally. D. She met great misunderstanding in her business. 3. What does Christmon’s machine mainly do? A. Dry the dirt. B. Purify the water. C. Clean the plastics. D. Produce dining tables. 4. Which of the following can best describe Christmon? A. Curious and faithful. B. Creative and devoted. C. Ambitious and patient. D. Kind and generous. [调研14]（2025·广东深圳·一模）My husband Stephen and I had planned a trip to Lithuania and Poland, but his worsening heart condition prevented him from joining. He insisted I go alone, marking my first solo journey in over 20 years. Despite my fears, I set off, feeling like I was on a flying Noah’s Ark surrounded by couples. In Vilnius, I found comfort in a website, which offered pay-what-you-choose walking tours. These tours became the highlight of my trip. I took five tours, each morning setting out to explore the city’s old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and sent Stephen photos each night. Our guide, Ieva, shared her deep knowledge of history and culture. I connected with travelers from various backgrounds, including a Polish professor who invited me to an art exhibit. I also traced my grandmother’s footsteps in Jewish Vilnius, visiting places she might have known. These tours, full of surprises, were perfect for a solo traveler, offering connection and flexibility. On my last day, Ieva gifted me a chocolate map of Lithuania for my enthusiastic participation. I missed Stephen but grew increasingly confident in managing daily life challenges. I navigated apartment lockboxes, shopped in local supermarkets, and cooked, activities I was once less skillful at. In Poland, I continued with pay-what-you-choose tours, adapting to larger groups. I walked over 20,000 steps daily, often revisiting places from the tours or discovering street festivals. In Lodz, I took a private tour with Milena, who helped me find my family’s history, including the homes of my great aunts and their sufferings during the war. Stephen was hospitalized just before I returned, and we spent his hospital stay looking at my trip photos and videos. His recovery was slow, but my independent travels allowed me to manage our home smoothly, benefiting us both. This journey not only reconnected me with my roots but also empowered me with a newfound confidence in my ability to travel and live on my own. 1. Why did the author choose to travel alone? A.
